I chose to work with JustRite cling sets Fancy Tags and Vintage Floral Labels. My original idea for a card was to have a tag come out of the square center of the Vintage Floral design. I used that idea as a start for this wedding card. After that, this card evolved in a direction of its own! If you were to ask me for directions for this, I'd have a hard time telling you!
I can tell you that all the stamping is done with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat embossed. I used Spellbinders LF-161 Grand Labels One #3 to cut the card and black glossy mat and #2 to cut the stamped mat. For the design element, I used Spellbinders S4-161 Labels One and S4-308 Labels One SM. These all work so well together for layering!!!
The Nestabling from Want2Scrap fits perfectly along the edge of my Labels One!
After I stamped the design and added the Nestabling, I sprayed it with Cosmic Shimmer Mist Bronze Blush. I also used Cosmic Acrylic Drawing Ink to color the floral design and the pattern on the tag. The fine brush works so well on the fine details.
The background stamped mat was created by stamping along the edge with a small stamp from JustRite Vintage Floral Labels. I painted the Cosmic Shimmer Mist on parts of the floral pattern. I shaded the edges with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Tea Dye Distress inks. The paper was white when I started! In fact, I used all white paper besides the black glossy paper.
A different look for a wedding card!

Wow How Beautiful your cards are. love both your cards the Antique on is Stunning and the is very Feminine love the pink and the Bling is perfict. thanks for sharing and for the chance to win.abbraddock@msn.com

WOUW these are so great, even they´re very different from each other, but not less beautiful. I love, what you´ve done on both, and love the great colors you´ve used too. They´re both very unique and beautiful.

I love the coloring on the brown card. It is different from most wedding cards. We get stuck in a rut and think certain cards need to be of a certain style. It is nice to think "out of the box." it challenges us to be different and try something new.

Both cards are beautiful and so different. I had to smile when I read your comment about the first card starting out and then kind of taking off in another direction. I think we have all been there and in the end cannot begin to remember how we got to the finished product... but however you got there it is a fantastic card!!

Judy, both stunning cards, and both wonderfully designed and executed. Love the warm and vintage look of the first, and the pretty pink of the second is so simple but so gorgeous.Thanks for sharing with us.Donna P
